VW’s Tiguan gets personal

Share via

The sign I really didn’t want to see lighting up on the dashboard of the new
VW Tiguan compact SUV was the one which says “break is recommended” below a
small picture of a gently steaming tea cup.

Now, obviously the appearance of the dashboard diagram indicating that all of
my tyres had gone flat wouldn’t exactly have brightened my day, either. But
at least that would have been telling me about a mechanical fault —
something inanimate, at a distance from me. Whereas “break is recommended”,
well, that was personal.
